Concerning Postage Stamps.

.Milori Green" is the color of the
new postage stamps now beginning to
make their appearance. For the ben
eft ofpeople who are not mp in the
technical names of the various shades
of green as expressed in printers ink
and other high art circles, it may be
stated that this "milori green is
exactly the same shade as that used
for the three cent postage stamps
which were in use when the letter pos
tage was changed from three cents to
two cents.
The change in color of the two cent
stamps which was decided upon by
the Post Office Department some
time ago took place on the twelfth of
the present month. 1t will take some
time however for the new green stamps
to get into general use. for the depart
ment requires all the post masters TO
sell out all their old two cent stamps
of the metallic red color before begin
nino the sale of the new ones. There

OBITUARY..

How said to chronicle the death of a
young mother, scarce twenty years
old, and her two sweet little children,
all in the space Of two months and
eleven days! On August 18. 1887.
Alico Lucille, youngest daughter of
Maud and A. M. Black, was trans
planted from earth to heaven, ere sin
and sorrow had sullied the purity and
beauty Of its being. On October 27
the young and devoted mother follow
ed her dear little one to the land where
there shall be no moro death, and
where oil sorrow and sighing shall
flee away. Two days after, October
20, our dear, beautiful and patient
littlc Missie, as if unwilling to be left
alone, followed to join her mother and
little sister in heavens unclouded day.
"'rhis lovely bud so young and fair,
Called hence by early doom,
just came to show how sweet a flower,
In Paradise would bloom"
Mrs. Maud Black was the daugh hter
of Joel A. Smith, deceased, Of Fair
| field, and was born November 2, 1867
Graduated in the Columbia Homo
School (Miss Elmore's) in June, 1884,
and was married December 4, of the
same year, and died October 27, 1887.
The character of Mrs. Black was Of
no ordinary stamp. With her beauty
| Of person, graceful manners, and in
tellectual accomplishments, many
would have become vain, and pleasure
| seeking. But not so with her. She
combined the dignity of the grave
matron with the candor and simplicity
of q child. Her indifference 10 world
ly amusements and fashions was very
marked, often leaving the society of
the young and gay and seeking that of
older persons, preferring, as she often
remarked, their grave and practical
talk to the vain and trivial CONVERSE
ton so common among young people.
She had distinguished opportunities
for intellectual culture, and with her
quick mind and close application,
made distinguished use of them.
| Warm and true in her friendships,
her memory will live and bo ever
cherished in tho hearts of those who
intimately knew her.
Mrs. Black was plously inclined
from her childhood, and in September,
1886, she became q member of the
M. Il. Church. She was very strict in
her observance Of the Sabbath, and
often reproved those around her for
the least disregard Of that holy day,
She said more than once that death
would be release to her, and that
tnone Of you know how often and
how earnestly I pray" Would ask
her mother If she thought her prayers
were as acceptable to God while lying
on her bed as they would be were she
kneeling. But her sun went down ere
it was MONDAY, and the light Of life
melted away into the glorious light O.
1 heaven. b. F. @.
